he joins us tonight from the c.m.e. group in chicago. >> thanks for having me back, tom. >> tom: you're looking for dividends in this market, with that in mind, what kind of stock market returns do you think investors should expect? >> i think in the short run, short run meaning the next three to six months, i think if you can get somewhere around a 5% to 6% return, you're going to be doing pretty well. i have a feeling we're going to see a market that is fairly range-bound here for the remainder of the year. thus it will be a two yards and a cloud of dust type market. if you can get return, especially from dividend yields, which i think are pretty good. that's what you should be looking at right now. >> tom: 5 or 6% over six months is 10 or 12%. that's much better than historic average? >> i think there is a potential for that. i think it will be back-loaded in the last three months as opposed to the remainder of this year. i think the market will probably struggle for the remainder of this year. january and february o

tonight's "street critique" guest joins us from the bank of new york. it is jonathan chaplin at credit suisse. welcome to "nightly business report." >> thanks, tom. >> tom: what has been fueling this performance that we've seen over the last quarter or so in telecom? >> i think it is pretty straightforward. it is primarily one thing: it's yield. as investors get concerned about growth concerns for the economy, 6% dividend yield for at&t and verizon stocks looks in increasingly compelling. you've got a better prospect of getting a return from that yield than other sectors in the economy. >> tom: it sounds like quite a defensive play. but what about the growth expectations for this sector? are there any? >> it is not going to be a sector that grows the top line at g.d.p. or above for the foreseeable future. but this is a company that can -- an industry that can generate a fair amount of earnings growth in the low-growth economic environment. so with 1% revenue growth, telecom companies can generally knock out 3 3 plus percent earnings growth. >> tom: one
